That wicked French playwright,
sardou. is the last impetuous individ-
ual to take up the cudgels and
batter the memory of Shakespeare.
Sardou is out in screed in which he
says that the writing o: the play
Hamlet" ought not to be considered
q credit to anyone, because there are
so many absurdities IN it. Certainly
it must be time to draw the line when
men OF the moral and intellectual
characteristics of Sardou take it upon
themselves to give the Bard of Avon
O set back.

Wooden Railway Ties,
Wooden ties for RAILWAYS are becon

wooden ties for railways are becom-
ing more expensive every year, and the
time is coming when possibly some SUBJ
stitute will have to be devised for them.
The chief engineer of the Reading rail-
road is about to try some experiments
with steel ties. They would be the
same in size and shape as the present
wooden ties, except that they would be
hollow; and they would practically last
until-they rusted away, while the best
oak ties last only about eight years.
Some of the advantages claimed for the
steel ties are that the expense of main
tanning the track would be largely re-.
duced, the road-bed would be irmer and
smoother, and trains could run at much
higher speed over them. The wear and
tear on track and rolling stock would
also be lessened, because the track is
smoother. For these reasons trains
could run faster without increasing the
expense proportionately.

Lieutenant Irwin with fifteen officers
went to the camp In the afternoon and
ordered The tramps to disperse and
leave the city. They paid no attention
to the orders, and the police then ad-
vanced to arrest them, firing two or
three shots in the air to intimidate
them. To the great surprise of the
police the tramps returned the fire. but
luckily without effect. The police then
charged the camp in force, firing as
they advan ced, and the tramps fled in
